New Dr. Who Episodes?

[Oban]

Martha looks good from the chest up.

[NowhereMan]

I think there's a very small number of people that would classify Catherine Tate (Donna) as a looker, before Dr. Who she was famous as comedian. As for Billie Piper, I never thought she was especially good looking in the episodes but in some of her interviews she's really looked cute. I think I'm in a minority in not liking her in the series though from people I know. Not especially gone on Martha Jones either, none of the women in Dr. Who or the spin-offs really strike me as beautiful which seems unfair when so many of the male actors are hotties. I blame the pink mafia for that.

Polly, companion of the First and Second Doctors:



Perpugilliam "Peri" Brown, companion to the Fifth and Sixth Doctors:



Sarah Jane, before she caught old age:



Victoria Waterfield, traveller with the Second Doctor:

Anneke Wills needs to eat a sandwich. Or twelve.

Otherwise, I agree with Oban.

[Tebonas]

I loved it.

I admit the "Children of Time" sequence gave me minor goosebumps.

And Rose being completely ignored in that sequence and huffing and puffing gave me the best laugh of the week!

Plus Harriet Jones, balls of brass.

I think most of the Doctor's female companions have been sexy, and that includes Donna. It just may not be in the typical model sort of way.

I was referring to the new series, historically the Doctor has been accompanied by hot women, many scantily clad, but the imo the new series hasn't had any especially good looking females. Not ugly or anything but not up to the level of the old companions and not David Tennant or Captain Jack levels of hotness.

[Reg]

The two surviving guys on Torchwood (Captain Jack and whatshisname) are heading closer and closer each week to the pudgy side of hotness though. Perhaps having Martha around will give them some incentive to diet.

[Signe]

God, I SO don't think Captain Jack is hot.  He always looks as if he has too much make up on or something.  What a dreadful series Torchwood has been so far, too.  Luckily, I don't rate companions on "hotness" or "boobage" so my perspective is based mostly on personality.  Oh and acting ability.  I know, I know.  What a silly thing to look for!  Donna is a decent actor and she's funny in a believable way.  I didn't find Martha to be a good actress, funny or believable.

[Reg]

I liked Rose best of the companions so far. Maybe because it wasn't just Rose all the time by herself. There was her clueless boyfriend and her mom who I thought was funny around a lot of the time as well.  I'd rank Donna as number two though.

Do you remember Captain Jack when he first appeared on Doctor Who  in season 1 or 2 though? It was the episode with the gas mask kid.  He's definitely gone way downhill as far as appearances go since then. Perhaps it's part of his ongoing transformation into the Face of Bo. :)

[Signe]

He was cuter before Torchwood, though out of all the Captain Jack's in the world, he's my least favourite. 

[Fraeg]

The Stolen Earth gets a pretty big thumbs up from me. though i guess i need to  for a week.

Agreed, can't wait for the next episode!   

[Ironwood]

Well,  and Martha, who has the  key, which is a  and then Rose  when the Regeneration    but doesn't then  the Doctors Daughter    and    Jack and Ianto  and followed  by  Wogan  who is really    Davros with the Daleks and a    followed by    a large  bucket of    manure.

Basically, it's like BSG.

[Oban]

The Doctor's daughter comes back?  Yes please!

[Ironwood]

Jack/Ianto Spitroast.

You heard it here first.

[NowhereMan]

To any concerned parties you could probably replace all Ironwood's  with

[Ironwood]

Heh.  That's hilarious.  I do not know how he manages not to slip back into his normal accent when discussing the Housemartins.

[Reg]

What is his normal accent?

[Ironwood]

You really ought to listen to some of his radio interviews.  He's got quite a broad, almost Paisley, accent.  (Even though the wife tells me he's not from there).

[Reg]

Best season ender I've seen for the modern Doctor Who. Tell me how much you hated it Ironwood. 

[Ironwood]

A fair bit.

[Oban]

Aw come on, Daleks speaking German made the episode worthwhile.

[Ironwood]

Indeed.

My take on it is roughly 50/50.  Daleks and Davros in particular were fantastic.  That wasn't the problem with the episode.

However, I'll not go into any detail on what the problems actually were, since Americans and Canadians are, I understand, behind on these matters.

[Tebonas]

The whole Rose thing was a fiasco smelling like bad fan fiction from start to finish. I guess one can say that without spoilering too much. I would have kept laughing at her uselessness if the show focused a little more on that.

[Signe]

She's a hooker now.  I don't think she must be a very good one, though.  I watched one episode and no one had an orgasm. 

Also, gone are the good old days of snickering at the daleks from the top of the stairs.  Nothing will ever be the same again.

[Reg]

Ah ok. Not enough puppy slaughtering. I understand.

El-evate and Ex-term-in-ate!

Like most RTD episodes, and especially like most RTD end-of-season spectaculars, it had some brilliant parts and some godawful parts...and was in dire need of a strict editor to rewrite and/or cut the godawful ones.

[Evildrider]

It wasn't a perfect episode, but I liked/enjoyed it a bit. 

It was a decent way for RTD to go out with a bang at least.

I'd prefer the bang to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Each series has tried to have a bigger, more ridiculous closer. With more dangling plot lines and inconsistencies.

[NowhereMan]

This one didn't make me see red like the last one, at least this one actually had the Doctor in it. What annoys me most about RTD's finales is that they've all involved the day being saved by the Doctor's companions. I don't watch the show specifically to see Rose or Martha or whoever the fuck else happens to be sharing the TARDIS with the doctor at that time find a way of saving humanity, the companions are meant to be there to give the audience an in to the world not to save the Doctor from whatever terrible old foe has returned to piss him off.

I know the whole "Oh shit, the Doctor has feelings! Rage!!11!" is one of the biggest complaints a lot of fans have but I can deal with that much. It also seems to be dissipating, Donna for all her annoyances didn't have any kind of heartfelt feelings for the Doctor and vice versa. It was nice to see him back to having a companion who was just along for the ride.

I think it was basically him putting all his characters in the last episode more then anything.  Although there was the whole "Children of Time" thing that's been talked about during this seasons eps.
